When he got home, Chen Hu had already cleaned the pot of fish.
"Brother, the mutant beast you raise eats more than me, and it's getting bigger and bigger. Will it bankrupt our family if it continues like this?" Chen Hu was a little worried.
He felt that the food had deteriorated recently, probably because of the mutant beast his brother raised.
In the past, he could eat meat every day to feel full, but starting over half a month ago, although he had meat every day, it seemed like it was gone after he had taken a few bites, leaving only vegetables on the plate.
It was only during this period that he could eat a little more fully if he cooked for himself, which was one of the reasons why he actively went home to cook every day.
Thinking of this, Chen Hu suggested for the sake of his own stomach: "Brother, why don't we eat the mutant beast? I heard that the meat of mutant beasts is very nutritious."
Chen Chu glanced at him with a strange look in his eyes: "This suggestion sounds good. What do you think tastes good?"
Chen Hu's eyes lit up, thinking there was a chance, and excitedly suggested: "Brother, I think barbecue and garlic flavors are more fragrant. Of course, spicy is also fine."
"Brother, wait a minute. I'll go get the knife." Chen Hu excitedly ran back to the kitchen, picked up the kitchen knife and went upstairs to kill the newt.
Chen Chu said angrily: "You took it seriously, put the knife down."
"Ah? Brother, you don't want to eat anymore." Chen Hu was a little disappointed.
Chen Chu waved his hand: "All you do is eat all day long. This is a mutant beast that I raised myself."
"But your worries are not without reason. This mutant beast has been eating more and more recently. I plan to release it in two days."
"...Release them." Chen Hu suddenly felt it was a pity.
What a waste, that's mutant beast meat...
"Okay, don't feel sorry."
Chen Chu patted him on the shoulder: "You are still young, there are some things you don't understand and can't grasp, just listen to me, go and cook."
"All right."
Although he didn't know why his brother wanted to release the animals, Chen Hu didn't think too much about it because of his trust in him since childhood.
Ignoring the troubled Chen Hu, Chen Chu carried the pot of fish upstairs.
In the room, the hexagonal salamander, which had grown to 68 centimeters, was lying on the floor. Its body looked more and more powerful, especially the three pairs of red horns spread out on both sides.
I don’t know if it’s because it has evolved once or because it has grown up, but the eyesight of the axolotl has also improved a lot.
Through the salamander's low perspective, Chen Chu could clearly see his own appearance and the furniture in the room, but everything was very huge and exuded an oppressive feeling.
After controlling his clone to eat and drink, Chen Chu practiced again in the evening before resting.
…
The next day, on the way to class, there were still law enforcers, it seemed that the two cultists had not been caught yet. Chen Chu thought thoughtfully.
As soon as he walked into the classroom, he found that it was much more lively today than before, and everyone was discussing the ranking competition.
Several students who had just established their foundation were complaining about how unfair it was; they had only entered the first level a few days ago, while many of their classmates had already been practicing for half a month.
In a competition under such circumstances, they were far behind in both basic physical fitness and proficiency of techniques, and had no hope of coming out on top.
Compared to them who were depressed, those students who had made a breakthrough in half a month were ready to go and were somewhat excited, thinking that this was their chance to become famous on campus.
Since everyone is at the first level, they feel that if they try hard, they might have a chance to make it into the top 50.
As for those students who have not yet established their foundation, they can only look on with envy.
"I think the monitor should have no problem getting into the top ten this time."
"You underestimate the squad leader. I think he has a chance of making the top five. In the training yesterday afternoon, he defeated Zhang Gang and the other three together."
"Yeah, I also think the class monitor's strength can be in the top five. Her swordsmanship is amazing."
Lin Xue in the front row was surrounded by many classmates. When she talked about how she defeated three classmates together yesterday afternoon, they all admired her very much.
After the battle between Chen Chu and Xia Youhui yesterday at noon, Lin Xue and others also noticed the problem of practical experience.
Therefore, yesterday afternoon, she called together all the students who were in the foundation-building stage in the class in the name of the class monitor.
Under the pretext of improving the overall strength of the class and allowing everyone to get a good ranking in the upcoming ranking competition, they are organizing a practical training session.
Most people had no objection to this suggestion, and after practicing for so long they were a little itchy, so they practiced for the entire afternoon with a lot of noise and it was quite lively.
"I think Yi Rui can also make it into the top ten this time. He is a genius who built his foundation in just three or four days, just like the class monitor."
"Yes, Commissioner Yi Rui is also very strong. Xia Youhui was easily defeated by him in the training session yesterday afternoon. He will definitely make the list easily this time."
"Haha...you all praise me too much. My ability is actually average. I was lucky to win yesterday."
"Besides, we are still just students. Friendship is the most important thing in this competition. It doesn't really matter what our ranking is. As long as we learn from each other and make progress, that's all that matters."
Chen Chu came to his seat and sat down, then looked at Xia Youhui in front of him strangely: "What's going on? Were you beaten by the class committee yesterday?"
Xia Youhui was a little unconvinced: "I wasn't beaten, I just had a sparring match. Besides, my injuries from the fight with you hadn't healed yet, so I was careless and lost two moves."
"Really?" Chen Chu felt that he was being stubborn.
After fighting with Xia Youhui yesterday, he found a personal training room to practice the Dragon Elephant Kung Fu, so he did not go out for training.
At this time, Chen Chu asked curiously: "Old Xia, what do you think of the strength of Yi Rui's class committee and monitor?"
Xia Youhui hesitated for a moment: "...very strong. I haven't practiced against the squad leader, but I feel that I am no match for her. Her swordsmanship is fierce and violent, which is more effective against me."
"As for Yi Rui, he's probably just a little bit better than me."
"I understand." Chen Chu nodded slightly.
Although Xia Youhui said one thing and thought another, the geniuses who had broken through the foundation-building stage in the past few days were indeed very strong, and their strength could suppress classmates like him who were also practicing advanced techniques.
Wuuwuwuwu!! At this time, a low sobbing sound came from the front.
Xia Youhui quickly turned back to comfort her: "Ah Yue, it's okay. If you can't practice Zhenwu, you can still apply to a prestigious university."
"Look, General Luo Wu Yue is not the same. He has never practiced Zhenwu, but now he has become a major general of the Federation at the age of 30. Let me tell you..."
At this time, it was not just the girl sitting in front of Xia Youhui.
While those martial arts students were excitedly discussing the ranking competition, those students in the class who had been practicing for almost a month and were still at the sixth or seventh level were feeling a little depressed.
Chen Chu saw all of this, but there was nothing he could do. The problem of talent would not change just because you were unwilling to do so.
And they are actually very lucky because they have the opportunity to learn Zhenwu systematically when they are in high school.
You should know that in some allied countries, information about Zhenwu and cultivation resources are controlled by the top leaders, and ordinary people have no chance to access them. This is also the reason why those small countries have become increasingly chaotic in the past two years.
After all, not everyone is willing to be at the bottom of society all their lives.
At four o'clock, as the school bell rang, Chen Chu slowly opened his eyes and prepared to go back.
After he started practicing Zhenwu, it was the first time he left school and went home so early. The reason was simple: his clone could start its second evolution soon.
